Does Anyone Still Read the Newspaper?
When I was a high school student, I had a subscription to the Boston Globe newspaper. I think it did a great job for my English comprehension, in addition to learning about a whole new world outside of my little suburban town outside of Boston ( Read more... ) -
6 pounds
Since running the Chicago marathon in mid-October, I have tapered off on working out for the past few months. It also doesn't help that I've been sick since Thanksgiving (30+ days!) with a cold / sinus infection. With the 2 major eating holidays past, I've gone from 169 lbs to 175 lbs. At 5'9", even when I was 169 lbs (right before the marathon ( Read more... ) -
Biblical Interpretation
I receive a weekly ePistle from the Episcopal church I attended while in Raleigh, NC, called St. Michael's Episcopal Church. I thought it was a good article, and I am reprinting it here. I have always enjoyed Rev. Greg as a preacher ( Read more... ) -
Welcome Back to Boston
Well, my car has either been towed or broken into, because it's no longer where I parked it. I better track down the towing company and pray that it's the former and not the latter. -
Job Search
Finding a job is a full-time job. Officially, I am unemployed since June 1 since my graduate advisor has been paying me until May 31, but unofficially I have been unemployed since May 2. I know it normally takes 3+ months for someone with my educational background to find employment, and it has only been 5 weeks of looking for a full-time ( Read more... ) -
Back in MA
I am, as Guster says, "back in Massachusetts." I had written a travel log of my 12-hour drive from Raleigh to Boston. I will transcribe it to LJ sometime in the future. It's been just over 2 weeks, and I am still trying to transition to living in Boston. Having a job would help too. At this point I may start volunteering a few hours a week ( Read more... ) -
PhD defense
It's done, I passed. 2.25 grueling hours of presentation and question and answers. I'm ready for my nap. -

Closed-Captioning Available On This Post
Since I've been working out at Peak Fitness last week and this weekend (NC State is on Spring Break), I have noticed one glaring problem: Networks need to fire their closed-caption writers and hire ones that can spell. Well, at least on ESPN, they're horrific! I run on the treadmill or use the elliptical machine for the past 7 days, and every ( Read more... ) -
2nd time past the finish line is a charm!
Saturday morning was the WakeMed Distance Festival 5K/10K run. I finished the 10K race in 51:00, but the "official" time for the 10K run was 25:39 minutes - I ran an additional 0.2 miles! I had my headphones on listening to my iPod shuffle, and at 3.2 miles into the race, there was a police officer pointing runners for the 5K and 10K portion. Well ( Read more... )
